"Full of wonderful scenes . . . Leckie lights up this world for us with fabulous energy . . . What was once cold history becomes full-bodied adventure." * * The Times * * "Leckie's fictional memoir is written in a simple, visceral style that brings a raw immediacy to descriptions of ancient battle . . . Leckie seeks not to bury Hannibal in analysis but to portray him. He gives readers a taste of an outsized man whose obsession to conquer Rome made him as bloodthirsty as he was bold. This is a ripping good read whose lesson in ancient history is yet another reward." * * Publishers Weekly * * ". . . a lusty, full-throttle portrait of the great Carthaginian general . . . The writing . . . is direct and unflinching . . . one is finally left with the powerful image of a lonely, haunted leader, stewing in his hatred and brooding obsessively about his actions." * * New York Times Book Review * * "Hannibal tells his own story in this splendid historical novel . . . Leckie writes unflinchingly of this world of blood, battle and atrocity." * * Sunday Telegraph * *
In Hannibal, Ross Leckie brings to life the colossal struggle of the Punic wars and the Carthaginian general who routed the great Roman armies of his time. In a narrative of breathtaking scope and energy, Leckie's portrait of Hannibal is both dramatic and scrupulously imagined. A chronicle of tragedy, of passion, heroism and cruelty, Hannibal is an epic recasting of the tale of one of history's greatest adventurers, recounted by a master storyteller.
